    In 1960 Chevrolet introduced the XP700 Corvette experimental car. The 1962 Corvette was a high performance car, with a powerful V8 engine (which was optional), some of them were further equipped with fuel injection and aluminum cylinder heads.

    This was a fast car by the standards of its time.The Corvette was an eye-opening American car for its time. The 1960 Chevrolet Corvair 500 Deluxe came with a Basic Corvair Engine 139.6 cid, horizontally opposed six, 80hp @ 4400 RPM, one-barrel carburetor. A three-speed manual transmission was standard, heater, padded dash,and manual radio.

    The Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in the North America in 1967 this was General Motors competition for the Ford Mustang. Although it was classed as a compact car (by the standards of its time) the Camaro like the mustang was classified as an intermediate sports car, or muscle car.

    One of the 1960s Super cars was the Lotus Elan with a compact fiberglass-body, drop-head, two-seater, powered by various versions of the Ford-based Lotus twin cam engine. The car was first shown at the London Motor Show late in 1962, but didn't reach production until 1963. Functional in design and layout, Lotus Elan combines simplicity, with leech like road holding, and a willing (if occasionally unreliable) twin -cam engine.

    Born in 1968 the Morgan Plus 8, used the sliding pillar type of independent suspension with which every Morgan had been fitted, since the first tricycle had taken to the road in 1910.

    The Ford motor company totally redesigned their 1960s models from the ground up. They shared nothing with the previous models except engines and drivelines . The 1960s styles were considered controversial by many, it still is one of the smoothest designs ever to come from the Dearborn drawing board. The new models were longer, lower and wider then previous models. All 1960s Fords featured a single chrome strip from the top of the front bumper, sweeping up to the top of the front fender, then back, horizontally along the beltline to the back of the car. There it turned inward and capped a small horizontal fin. Large semi-circular taillights were housed in an aluminum escutcheon panel below the fins and a directly above a large a large chrome bumper. The Fairlane series contained the word Ford spaced along the rear quarter panel for trim. The Fairlane script was on the sided of the front fenders. The Galaxie series used a Ford crest in script, on the deck lid and on the front fenders. A single strip began along the center of the front door and continued back to the taillights on the side with ribbed aluminum stone shield behind the rear wheel opening. The Falcon was first introduced during this time, this was Fords entrance into the compact car race. The Falcon was an uncomplicated little car that was available in two-door or four-door sedans, and station wagons. The styling left little doubt that they were Ford products, but was remarkably simple and attractive. In 1965 Ford lineup represented five full car lines with 44 models-the widest choice of models in Ford 's division's history.

    Chrysler was making it's own history in 1968, the Chrysler New Yorker took first place in it's class, in the Mobil Economy run from Los Angeles to Indianapolis.
